Ingredients

6 pounds medium sweet potatoes

1 cup well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk

3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar, or to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in middle.

Prick sweet potatoes in several places with a fork, then bake on
a foil-lined baking sheet, rotating potatoes halfway through baking, until very soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, halve sweet potatoes and scoop flesh into a bowl.

Meanwhile, bring coconut milk, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt just
to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Stir into warm sweet potatoes, then pulse in batches in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt.

Cooks note:
Sweet-potato purée can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat in a large heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, covered, stirring occasionally (20 to 30 minutes).

This was really good! I actually made it for a Jamaican themed dinner party to go with pork. Must admit I added a whipped egg and butter then baked for 45 minutes. Topped with toasted coconut. Really good!
